My Psychological Evaluation



Recommended Posts

I had my psych eval back in May and i too was completely honest about everything. Although im not too much of a binge eater i have very low self esteem(due to my weight gain). I suffered physical and mental abuse very quite some time from my partner and i yet to get over it not to mention other things in my past. Needless to say she diagnosed me with severe anxiety and depression that very day and after about 5 days of seeing her she called me with my results and said that my depression and anxiety was of the charts and that im so depressed i dont even realize how bad it is. She told me that she realizes it is my past and that she would go ahead and give me the ok for surgery bit wants me to see a psych at the very least once a wk. Dont get discourged because i did and look at me, as of this past Sunday i have been approved for my surgery!!! Greatest news i have received since '07 when i found out i was pregnant... I wish you the very best and remember not to stress on the small things it will all fall in place. Good luck tk you and keep us updated!

I am to see my phsyc Aug. 20. I wanted to see one closer to where I live but my surgeon refused, he wanted me to see a phsyc that was familiar with bariatrics. I'm worried about seeing her, the procedure,(since I've read some are still in the hospital after their designated time) and the Hair loss. I have read that some had intense pain. I know some have lower or higher pain levels but why are they staying in the hospital longer. I'm supposed to stay over one night. The phsyc is my last step before getting my date. I know I'm rambling but I've been working on this since May and now it's nearly time and I'm lil worried. Also, did anyone have to take a test from their Nuts before the surgeon would do the sleeve on you, I did and had to pass with a 90. Thank goodness I passed. Any help or words of wisdom would be appreciated. O Has anyone used Care Credit? My insurance isn't paying for mine. Thank you, Tina

You will be ok. Don't worry . Your body is different from the next person. Say a little prayer.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
